Explore the property
A hotel on Sangmunuri-ro in Seo-gu, Gwangju, directly across from the Kimdaejung Convention Center, which makes city buses easy to use.
Many reviews call the rooms modern in design and on the spacious side, and comments about comfortable bedding come up steadily. One review does note that the hotel also runs a wedding hall, so on weekends being assigned a room at the far end of the corridor means a long walk back and forth.
Many reviews say the bathrooms are tidy since the renovation, though one found the open-plan layout short on privacy.
One review says both breakfast and dinner were tasty, and there's a convenience store on the first floor, which makes grabbing a quick bite easy.
An indoor pool and a fitness center make for a hotel staycation that's hard to come by in Gwangju; just note that the pool, sauna, and fitness center are closed on the second Tuesday of every month.

광주 처음 방문이었는데 호텔다운 호텔에 투숙할 수 있어서 푹 쉬고 좋았어요. 꽤 연식된 호텔인줄 알았는데 리모델링했는지 샤워부스나 객실 모두 대체로 깔끔하고 좋았습니다. 침구도 촉감좋아 숙면할수 있었어요. 수영장은 이용못했고 피트니스는 런닝머신만 이용해봤지만 테크노짐 기구였고 규모도 작지 않아 편하게 이용했어요. 중심가에서 좀 떨어진 위치같지만 맞은편 김대중컨벤션센터 앞에 노선버스들이 꽤 많더라구요. 단지 웨딩홀 이용차량들이 넘넘 많아서 주차장 진출입이 힘근게 좀 불편. 다시 방문하고 싶은 호텔입니다.

콘서트 관람시 정말 가까움 방도 화려할것은 없어도 편하고 기능적으로 적절한것 같고 편의점 1층도 편리함 다만... 맛의고장 광주라 조식 한식 섹션은 기대를 했는데 생각보다는 임팩트가 없고 전반적으로 지난번보다 맛이 떨어지는 듯한 기분 ㅠㅠ
